    3. First - Happy Labor Day to you all. I'm off and on the computer today - but decided to make the morning posts. Charlie has posted the puzzler for today - give it a try. As a hint, I'm not referring to just any old records; it has to do with genealogy/history. A quick tip for the day. If you can't find your ancestor's marriage license in the county in which they resided, you might browse around adjacent counties or even states as they might have eloped. Why did they elope? Parental disapproval, being under age, keeping it out of the paper ... or just because it sounded romantic. I had been hunting for a marriage on one of the family for years in one county in KY. Lo and behold I was doing some research in another county and there was their marriage certificate. Marked on it, in bold print, were the words "Do Not Publish!" Well, this couple lived many happy years together back in their home county and raised a large family. But - for some reason, they eloped and wanted it hidden!
